Utah parents of twin toddler boys said a recent close call has them warning parents about the dangers of furniture overturning.

The pair were playing in their room when they decided to climb onto the dresser, reported CNN.

Kayli Shoff said of her twin boys, Bowdy and Brock, “They’re almost two and a half and they’re super rambunctious.”

But, said Shoff, she didn’t realize what happened when a dresser pinned Brock to the ground.

"Because I usually hear everything. We didn't hear a cry. We didn't hear a big thud, so we just--we woke up, looked at the camera, we're like 'What's going on? Are they still sleeping?' Then we saw that it was all the way down they were just still playing. So we didn't know if it had landed on them,” Shoff told CNN.

After watching the bedroom camera, the parents said they discovered that not only did the furniture land on top of Brock but that his twin brother saved him.

Shoff explained saying the video showed Bowdy apparently assessing the situation and then attempting to lift the dresser. When that didn’t work, he just pushed it with all his might off his brother.

“I really believe in the twin bond. You always hear that. And I really think these two have it."

After the ordeal, the family decided to bolt the dresser to the wall.

Kayli Shoff said they were a bit conflicted about whether to share the video but eventually felt it was necessary to help raise awareness.

"Everybody needs to bolt down their dressers to the wall. I mean, we just didn't think about it. So, accidents are going to happen...so accidents are going to happen. So, we just want awareness to this one accident that happened and hope that it doesn't happen to any other family."
